@NASTARHQ Terrible idea. Racers already paid to participate and see their results. This is just greedy.

@NASTARHQ has apparently taken to a ransomware approach: Join Outside+ [$4.99 per month] to get full access to results and rankings online, and be eligible for the NASTAR National Championships. ☹️#Ransomware @SkiPineKnob @PineKnobSkiing

@Wise Love the ability to receive payments in a foreign currency. Forwarding to home bank account could be easier though. Would love to have a "forward to ..." option for received payments.

Why does @uspto reject the correct use of SI units? Maybe @oppedahl knows...

For my German colleagues:

Paul leaves Hamburg at 8.00 o'clock in the morning and drives 285 km to Berlin. Paul drives at an average speed greater than 100 km/h, preferably greater than 120 km/h, and most preferably 130 km/h. When will Paul arrive in Berlin?

@PaulinaJo @axelhorns Blockchain erfordert doch nicht, dass jeder Beliebige teilnehmen darf. Ein dezentrales Grundbuch dass als Blockchain aller Grundbuchämter gemeinsam geführt wird sollte gegen Angriffe weniger anfällig ist als eines das von einem einzigen Amt geführt wird.

@DTE_Energy What is the password of my PDF bill? And why would you see a need to encrypt it if the total is also in plain text in the email?

@patentlyo Give her a call and find out why you were not listed as an inventor.

Had a good discussion with a criminal defense attorney today. Turns out defending a patent accused of being invalid in a PTAB trial is more expensive than defending a person accused of selling 15 kilos of cocaine.

One of my best purchases lately. Only dictionary I have come across that translates the German word "kalibrieren" as used in the context of manufacturing metal plates correctly as "sizing."

@uspto Many users apparently not able to reach you... Issues with your DNS settings?

[Axel Nix @SmartpatPLC]

Client asked where his patent certificate is. Seems it went on a world tour: Chicago - Warsaw - Vienna - Greensboro - Jersey City. Wonder where it will go next.

[Axel Nix @SmartpatPLC]

@QuickBooks Seriously, another update, another bug that keeps advertising your products? Now the same popup every two minutes - irrespective of checking "don't show again"?

[Axel Nix @SmartpatPLC]

@SafeSelfDrive I never liked the comparison between AVs and average humans. AVs should never drive drunk, distracted, or engage in road rage. AVs must be held to meet the performance of alert, sober, and experienced human drivers - which is magnitudes better than the average.

Most #patent applications we file are based on foreign language priority filings. An improvement we are considering are client-specific glossaries to improve translation quality. #ContinousImprovement for #PatentsThatMatter

[Axel Nix @SmartpatPLC]

Interesting statement from a patent broker: "Investors won't even look at a patent portfolio unless there is at least one pending application." Good reason to file continuations. No better way to strengthen a portfolio. #Patent #Strategy #PatentsThatMatter

Patent practitioners have a natural tendency to claim Schrödinger's cat: A box containing a cat, wherein the cat is dead and/or alive.

.@Samsung acquired @Harman two years ago. Maybe the right time to learn how to spell Harman? https://t.co/dVQRFP7yWf

[Axel Nix @SmartpatPLC]

I always tell clients that there is no point in obtaining a patent if they are not willing to enforce it.

Here is proof: Sucxess just sued Voyage Auto for infringing two patents I invented.

@Dwolla_Support Received an incorrect 1099-K from you. How can I get it corrected? Shows a gross amount of $84k even though I didn't use Dwolla...
